And they can do the nurturing because of "the unique way they are funded", as the BBC like to remind us. Once nurtured they can go of to the commercial stations to make the big bucks while the BBC nurture the next lot. The BBC should not be employing people on multi million pound salarys. Just let them go off to the commercial stations ( who I suspect whould then be able to offer smaller wage packages when they are not competing with the BBC ) and bring in the new talent.
I really do not like the way that the BBC competes against commercial stations. They do not need to and should not spend our tax money on competition with the commercials.
As an example. Why are Holby Blue and the Bill on at the same time? If you like that type of show you will probably like both - the BBC are forcing you to choose. They should move their program so as not to directly compete with a similar program type on ITV.
Why do they not repeatedly show their new prime time shows several times during the week on BBC3 and 4 instead of just repeating the older stuff?
Should we even have BBC3 and 4? By removing all the generic stuff that everyone else produces from BBC1 and 2 they would have enough airtime to show all there uniquely funded type stuff.
